Why Lehigh? “I chose Lehigh because of the family like environment in which it is based on. The players made me feel at home when I came on my visit.”
On Coach Coen: “Coach Coen will not beat around the bush; if he has something to tell you he will tell you exactly what he is feeling. He will not lie, and he is very trustworthy. He is an excellent coach who looks out for his players and he will do whatever it takes to get them to be number one.”
On being part of the Lehigh football experience: “It has made my college experience much better because coming into the school year I did not have to worry about making new friends; I already made 100 friends during camp. It is much easier getting help with school because there are players on the team that can help me with any subject I am struggling with. It is great, knowing that there are 100 teammates that have your back at anytime, leaving no one behind.”
